Pedestrian & Bicycle Program
Winter Park consistently has been one of the top spots in the country to visit. Not surprisingly, a good number of Winter Park residents and visitors enjoy walking and cycling for recreation or transportation.
Winter Park is committed to being a pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly community. In this effort, a Pedestrian & Bicycle Advisory Board was created of resident pedestrians and cyclists to work with city staff.
Their mission is “To create and promote a viable and safe pedestrian and bicycle-friendly infrastructure and promote these modes of transportation throughout the city.“
This board has been working steadily toward developing a Pedestrian and Bicycle Circulation Plan (PBCP) to better accommodate pedestrians and cyclists. The PBCP plan includes all sidewalks and pedestrian pathways, shared use paths, bike lanes and signed bike routes.
The goal of the PBCP plan is to:
- Facilitate walking and cycling as viable recreation and transportation choices;
- Afford citizens the opportunity to experience the City's unique cultural and scenic amenities through walking and cycling;
- Provide access to healthful recreational activities; and
- Link parks and open spaces with Winter Park neighborhoods.
When completed, the city will have established a pedestrian and bicycle facility network linking neighborhoods with parks, schools, and activity centers, as well as providing connections with surrounding communities.
